The GSR3 is the latest design of respirator in use by UK armed forces. It is designed to fulfil a number of protective roles and provide protection against CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) threats. GSR3 also combines a list of design features to offer significantly reduced physiological and psychological burden to the user, enhanced field of view and easier communication.

 Filtration

The GSR3 has the same twin filter set up as the original GSR. Offering unprecedented levels of respiratory protection, including Toxic Industrial Chemicals and ground breaking levels of particulate protection (against biological hazards, radiological dusts and viruses). GSR platform variants can now facilitate the use of positive pressure supplied air technologies meaning combination respirators for specialist users incorporating SCBA, PAPR and supplied airline in addition to negative pressure APR filters are possible. GSR is also capable of operation in a low vacuum environment.

Visor

The visor is a masterpiece of technology. A single piece of flexible polymer flash coated with diamond whisker on the outside and an active HUD on the inside. The GSR HUD is capable of linking with all of the soldiers equipment using the Soldiers wired teamwear. Capabilities include;

  • Image enhancement
  • Thermal
  • Infra-red
  • Target identification
  • Primary and secondary missions
  • Datapad connection
